The music would fit in the war movie on how those trees and rock came to Venice :D Mount Velebit in Croatia is now devoid of trees and there are few remaining quarries in the Istra region. Venitians plundered them well :D
I still don’t understand how so long ago, without the benefit of mechanical equipment we have now, they were able to pound wood into water and mud and keep everything miraculously level and strong enough to hold up beautiful concrete buildings.
The research and facts presented are super interesting and I am definitely "hooked" - thank you. I do wish these "Slice" pieces ended less abruptly and had links to related articles instead of just dropping off, almost mid sentence, and going to something totally different.

Its funny, today, in so many infrastructure projects of all kinds all over the world, drilling mud, or bentonite, is used in all kinds of different ways to fill that need of a "supple" material in the art of construction, we still today drill out for the huge footer piles made of reinforced concrete to that same layer of "clay" or "bedrock" that they're talking about in Florida - I watcjed it done and was amazed by the light blue color that starts coming out of the can, on the job I was working at the men on the pile crew said that usually 65 to 75 ft they'd start hitting it - of corse this was all soil bored pre construction before they widened the bridge, absolutely incredible, I was so glad that I worked outside and got to see so many amazing things in my life, god is good. Enjoyed this very much, always wondered many things about Venice, they certainly had some deep pockets and incredible fortitude to accomplish such a feat.
i always use to wonder how they could build bridges that spanned such great large bodies of water. This was so helpful. glad to know they were not just floating. lol

I have visited Venice 3 times 😊 the rd visit was just before the carnival, so magical! It had a wine fountain, people were outside by the square in the snow. The police wears cape during winter!
I didn't know the pleasing "lacey" architecture was based on saving weight, or that the mortar forgave motion. Venice just after dawn is serene and spell binding; someone should video walkabouts then.
I know it'll ve difficult but if we can't to anything to prevent Venice from drowning better make it happen in a great way, get people settled somewhere nearby safe, and clean Venice of anything harmful or ugly, it'll become the best underwater place and as a motivation for the whole world to unite and come together for climate action.
Two weeks after the Friuli earthquake visited Tagliamento valley and was shocked how many old stone houses collapsed and landslides came from hills, but in Venice didn't see any damage.
I remember when we were driving those wooden pools into the ground suggesting that maybe we should hire some people to carve out stone poles, yeah, it would've cost more, but in the long run you'd save. But, no, the higher ups didn't want to spend the money to do the job right. Now, you've got cracking building. And the lady saying the panes of glass moving like sails? Her elders were bullsh*tting her. We cleaned up broken glass for a week.
If they had put metal rods into the wood floors they could have adjusted for warping. They had this technique in my old drafting table from the early 1900s.
Venice has been on maps for 1000s of years, don't let them steal glory for it's construction. Only reason it needs repair, it their lack of maintenance
7:35 unfortunately even today pile foundations of buildings cost half the cost of the building and drive the owner's bankrupt and the building unfinished. 9:24 in The earthquake occurring places in India the rule still is- build up to 3 floors- now we know where the wisdom came from 11:31 the Venetian building bears the hallmark of diplomacy at its finest worst
It's all fine until it isn't. Unless the Italian government decides to fill in the entire lagoon with dirt, trying to save this district is futile. They're using band aids to hold this thing together and it'll eventually fail because they won't have enough money or the will to actually fix the entire problem once and for all.
7:21 CARIED FROM NEAR BY COASTS /??/ NO WAY ! IT`S ALEGGED TO BE FROM MY COINTRY, FROM SLAVONSKA/BARANJA 8:39 NEAR OR EXACT, HOW DOES TRANSPORT HAPEND WITH THOSE HIGH OF ORDER SO TO SAY ??? 9:34 they understood when they were building// SO WHEN, AS when oh when and who where builders, not to menchened how did task of puting buildings in water, as well as how long ago this project happen and erodation of water how incredible is it??? no word just simplle ly
The Venice we're used to seeing isn't the whole city. It's just one district. The rest of the city is on the mainland and is doing just fine. It's only a matter of time before Murano and Burano sink into the ocean. The italians are fighting the inevitable. It'll eventually be no different than Baiae or any other sunken italian city district. All the other boroughs, Favaro Veneto, Mestre/Carpenedo, Chirignago/Zelarino and Marghera, will be just fine.
this must be a British production. It has the hallmark soundtrack style of the background audio just as loud and dominant as the narration, making it difficult to understand. Excellent content, though....
@@benediktmorak4409 Or a really big forest. The Venetians were master boat builders. I wonder of they floated the logs. How did they move them in the muck?
"The hordes of barbarians" 😑 Hello, do you know this is absolutly untrue and romanticized ? Historians have criticized this outdated vision for at least a century...
In the west of holland all the houses are build like this for hundred of years. They still build like this now. You must have the right wood or the stil rot. It now looks that they invented that..!
Yes! Good catch. San Marco bell tower collapsed in 1902, I think. But, they identified the cracks earlier and were able to quarantine it off before the demise. New tower was built by 1912.
Really interesting !! But oh dear terrible music. Please just the cut that music completely. Stop it. No need for it It makes no sense Does not fit Sounds just like a million other dumb videos Please make a calm kinder version Venice deserves it

More than eight centuries later piling foundations are still working, Venetians were brilliant.
We still are
This is how proper investment into the infrastructure looks like

@@robertmccabe8632 ~ I don't know if the French cathedrals used pilings or not? But I assume they built their foundations down to bedrock.
Sorry. Can't watch it through because of the music.

Dramatic/epic music...please make it stop
This is great information as I’ve long wondered how the Venice we see today was built
It's too bad that the background music is so loud: it makes it difficult to hear the very interesting things you are saying.
I like the documentary, many things I did not know. A lot of ideas, science, savoir faire, stunning. There is no other town like it.
What’s with the dramatic music?!
It’s a documentary about Venice not a war movie.
🤣
😂
The music would fit in the war movie on how those trees and rock came to Venice :D
Mount Velebit in Croatia is now devoid of trees and there are few remaining quarries in the Istra region.
Venitians plundered them well :D
Venice is one the of most interesting and fascinating places we have visited.
Better than Disney, because of it's history
WOW, Super interesting, Thank You for sharing.
Wow!! What amazing ingenuity - Venice is a living breathing moving monument to the worlds very best civil engineers.
educational but the music is extremely annoying
Hello, thank you for the feedback, we apologize for the background music being too loud, we will keep your feedback in mind for future uploads :).
Not just too loud bloody annoying.
@SLICE_Science I actually liked the music! Jut a little bit too loud but otherwise fine. :)
Agree 100%
Agree 😖
Thank you for a beautiful and enlightening explanation 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful documentary😊
I am glad that you enjoy it !
Turn the music down, it is overpowering and distracting.
I still don’t understand how so long ago, without the benefit of mechanical equipment we have now, they were able to pound wood into water and mud and keep everything miraculously level and strong enough to hold up beautiful concrete buildings.
Yeah, prolly aliens
You struggle with understanding?
cmw - do the research so you can see the mechanical equipment and advanced tech weaponry - going back through time since before the days of Noah
I guess for you that pyramids came from outer space then
it is hard to imagine. such huge pillars...
The research and facts presented are super interesting and I am definitely "hooked" - thank you.

I’m been all over Italy Ireland Paris Germany Crete but this is one I would love to see
The brilliance of the Venetians is astounding.
Great video. Very informative.
Italy people are so good
Loud background music is a disease these days.
It's because the documentary is stolen. It's for copyright reasons so the software can't match the audio. It's annoying as hell.

Didn't know any of it. Thanks!
How did they drive these piles?
-"Don't build above 3 floors!"
Every venitian: Ok! * builds 4 floors *
in europe the ground floor is the American 1st floor. so that’s why they say not to build above the 3rd floor (your 4th)
@@steffharrison2644 I thought that was only a British thing.

How do you make a Venetian Blind?
Interesting! Now they have to use their genius once more to stop the city from sinking
Interesting to see Mrs De Mosto. Wonder where Francesco was at the time?
Very interesting.
Fascinating

*" The Venetian building is like an organism. "* Whoa, I've always wanted to live inside a weasel!

the city is drowning...so much about architecture
Fascinating is the pillage of our (not italian) Adriatic coast forests for these pillars
Wow!!!

yes a good thought for future building when water levels rise. I dont suppose venice freezes. Which maybe is another problem in other areas.
The Venetians were lucky that it all worked out the way it did. Being human sometimes takes a lot of luck.
Venicians was a greek tribe from the old Greek minor Asia today this place occupied by turkeys. They moved in today Venice and created a new colony.
I would say it is a tribute to the hardheadedness of man. We all have opinions.
The technique they used was moving the town (at the time) to the actual spot Venice is located. The old platform is now mostly underwater .
bravissimo
Two weeks after the Friuli earthquake visited Tagliamento valley and was shocked how many old stone houses collapsed and landslides came from hills, but in Venice didn't see any damage.
Hreat doc but too short. Where's the full length version?

Is there a part-two?
Why not click on the channel and then click on the videos so you can see
Now Venice has to deal with hordes of tourists.
Are there building archives? The Written word?
Dump the noise, called music
Dalmatian wood, and Istrian stone....
Nice film, knowledgeable people, destroyed with unbearable sound.
If they had put metal rods into the wood floors they could have adjusted for warping. They had this technique in my old drafting table from the early 1900s.
It's certainly nice being a Comtesse of Whatever living in a historical Venetian building...
@user-yp2mw2ko9k oh poor comtesse, I feel so sad for her
@user-yp2mw2ko9k lol
This is a grammatical error. Her last name is not Comtesse, but "contessa", meaning countess

Looks like some cracks are pretty wide!

The word you are looking for is “flimsy”
I hope they all have their own boats as shown in the lower level area.
Venice should levy a charge for a purpose of protecting it from flooding.
No problem with music.

Could a new Venice like city be built with our current "dead hand" building regulations? I doubt it.

Yup and they did it without computers 😳
Makes me nervous
Give credit to the Aztecas, they were the first who made those kind of construction for floating cities.
